Should be the same as for a torrent client; if I'm wrong, anyone feel free to correct me. I've chosen utorrent to forward but ignore this ang scroll down to where it says "do not skip this step". Skip it and follow the directions from thereon forwarding port 9001 to Asus or whatever: http://portforward.com/english/routers/p...v6/Utorrent.htm Setting a static ip address may be necessary if your router assigns your computer a new one each time you restart. It's not hard to do and eventually probably will change: http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm Either way, check it at ipconfig/all the next time you start to ensure it hasn't changed.

Unless that ZyXEL modem contains a router, I don't know you can forward ports. Which port do you use (something over 10,000 that isn't the default is recommended). If your client supports it, use Protocol Encryption, this link shows how for Azureus, BitComet or utorrent: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/395674. Sounds as if your ISP is throttling torrents, do you see it here: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs

Just a modem,i have no router.Not on bad ISP list, but i think it is throttling torrents...p2p clients generaly...i tryed everything but no results...even with protocol encription...I think that only solution is to change my ISP :(
But thanx anyway.

There is one Leviton router listed here: http://portforward.com/english/routers/p...routerindex.htm Hopefully it is yours or similar. Click it, then on the next page, click Team Speak and follow the instructions.

I'm new to all of this port forwarding, and ive been living in the dark ages ok 10kbps lol. Am I right in saying displaying this information




If you got a mix of remote and local you successfuly configured it? I read it off a site. Even if this is true, I am still only receiving download speeds of up to 40 to 70 kbps average. : (

@Mist82
couldnt really tell you sorry. wait for some one else to ask.

Im downloading two (legal) files. What I want to know is, one is coming in at 118kbps (file size=1.32gb) and the other file is coming in at 37 kbps (file size = 6gb) is this down to the size? I was led to believe that its the peers and seeds what decides its download speeds, but the 6gb file has more seeds and peers. What should I believe?

Tx for the reply...
As for your problem,it is not in the size of the file,it is like you mentioned in the seeders...first of all maby the conections from your comp. or to your comp,are closed,ports not forwarded,or maby your P2P klient is not configured properly...which can usualy be the problem. Protocol encryption haven`t solved my problem...sometimes more seeds and peers don`t mean faster speed.Try another P2P programe,uTorrent maby. Or just try reconfiguring your P2P klient...

Just an FYI, you have no way of knowing what seeds and peers have their upload speed set at so two files with the same number of connections won't have the same speed. The amount they have downloaded compared to you will also have an effect as will configuring your upload speed. Also, more than one download open at a time will be sharing your bandwidth.

When opening a range of ports, like 1100 ? 1110, before you start forwarding these open ports to your router, is there a way to open that range of ports in the windows firewall part?

If opening a range of ports is not available for the windows firewall section, does that mean I must open each port one at a time?

I have a linksys router but I'm having trouble finding the window to login into so I can forward the port. I enter my IP address in the address window but the screen tells me there is no such website.

It's not your ip address and make sure you use IE (I believe Netscape is ok), not Firefox, etc. Go to this site, find your router and click on it. In the next window, find your program, click on it and follow the directions: http://portforward.com/english/routers/p...routerindex.htm Port forward has instructions for settins a static ip address which you'll probably need also.

I just posted this with intentions of thanking you Mistycat.....

Thnx to you I was able to open and forward the port correctly.....
At least I think it's working properly because Utorrent's symbol is green and it says, "Network ok, your network connection is working like it should".....


So thnx again and many kudos mistycat.....

i need help anybody?please im going crazy from all these port forwarding stuff..

what i did was:
i set my ip address to static because thats what it said in the portforward.com after which i changed the settings of my bitcomet following carefully what portforwarding said i should do. and then i opened the port of my linksys wrt300n router,again following strictly what was on portforward.com. after doing all these i checked my bitcomet, the yellow light still appears and the ip address that was there was different from the static ip that i specified earlier. i turned off the computer and another ip address was the one being blocked, this time different from the static ip i specified and different from the ip that was blocked the first time around. i tried to see if it will work with uTorrent again i consulted the portforward.com on how to tweak the settings of utorrent this time. again it gave me an error message regarding my router configuration and the ip that was being displayed was not the ip i specified.

i also allowed my firewall (pc cillin) to allow bitcomet and utorrent. both does not work till now. please help i really need it..thanks if you want you can message me your help or i can check back here at the forum. btw im using xp w/ sp2.
